Title: Elimination of feedback or howlround due to microphones, pickups and audio input transducers feeding back through loudspeakers
Inventor: ADRIAN GIBBY
IPC: H04R3/02
Filed: 2019-10-10
Abstract: A method for eliminating loudspeaker audio feedback, oscillation or howling caused by microphones, pickups and audio transducers. The method comprises a system of measuring the maximum gain for a signal between a loudspeaker and microphone before feedback at a set distance, and measuring the distances, applied gain and frequency boost between each microphone and loudspeaker before limiting the gain and frequency boost of each loudspeaker and microphone signal to calculate and reduce the gain to a level below the maximum limit in order to pre-empt and cancel out feedback before it occurs by ensuring the gain is below the upper level calculated. By determining the maximum loop gain before feedback in a setup phase, the loop gain of each microphone combination is limited below this level, thus eliminating feedback. This system can be used in conjunction with existing anti-feedback systems that enable a higher output from the loudspeaker.

Date Jun. 14, 1990.Contaminated water is caused to flow up through a chamber while aerated to produce air bubbles of a size mainly in the range of 0.03 mm to 1 mm by means of air diffusors disposed at the bottom of the chamber. Organic and inorganic impurities in the water is, by a combination of water flow, flotation and physical adsorption caused by the air bubbles, brought to the surface of the water in the chamber, where a foam containing dissolved impurities is formed and instantly removed from the chamber while a mixture of water particles and microscopic air bubbles is allowed to flow over a partition wall into an adjacent basin having a considerably larger volume than that of the chamber. In the basin a flotation process will take place causing a slurry to form on the surface of the water in the basin, which is removed, preferably at the end of the basin opposite the chamber. The rising air bubbles from the diffusor in the chamber causes the water to circulate through the chamber and basin, the chamber and basin communicating above and below the partition wall. Preferably a biofilter medium having upwardly extending, intercrossing channels is disposed in the chamber.
